On December 23, 2010, while en route from the Port of Vancouver, Canada, to Zhanjiang, China, the ship ran into rough weather between Hawaii and Midway Islands, causing some containers of uranium concentrate to open. On January 3, when Cameco became aware of the spill, it ordered the ship to return to Canada; the ship docked off Ladysmith, where the spill was inspected by Cameco, Transport Canada, and Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. On January 20, the ship docked back in Vancouver to refuel and restock supplies.<ref>{{cite web |url =http://www.cameco.com/media/news_releases/2011/?id=543 |title =Update on Uranium Shipment |date =January 20, 2011 |publisher =Cameco |accessdate =2011-02-12 |archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20110118071510/http://www.cameco.com/media/news_releases/2011/?id=543 |archive-date =January 18, 2011 |url-status =dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/Cameco-logs-net-earnings-207-capress-3858571360.html?x=0 |title = Cameco logs net earnings of $207 million in Q4 on $673 in revenue |publisher = Canadian Press |accessdate = 2011-02-12 }}{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The ship had 24 sea containers, each containing up to 35 drums, for a total of 840 drums or 350,000 kg of uranium concentrate,<ref>{{Cite news |title=UPDATE Jan. 24: Uranium ship out of Stuart Channel |url=https://www.ladysmithchronicle.com/news/update-jan-24-uranium-ship-out-of-stuart-channel/ |newspaper=Ladysmith Chemainus Chronicle |date=2011-01-18 |accessdate=2021-10-26}}</ref> on board.
